So my home grown Windows 2008 machine is fast and cheap but not exactly on the HCL! The DLink Wireless DWL-G520 adapter appears as a "Atheros Wireless Network Adapter".

It works fine apart from one anoying feature - it prevents the machine from starting! With it disabled, it comes up OK, and can then be started OK - just need to disable it every time before shutting down.

Still in the process of getting my new Vista SP machine right...I was having issues (could not install additions, could not shut down the guest, Virtual Server serivce could not be managed) when running an XP SP3 guest on the Vista SP1 host.

However, many of the keyboards in our racks do not have a righthand Ctrl key. Previously we had to plug in a full sized keyboard but functionality has been added to allow the keys to be modified. I was slightly confused by the article, so to save anyone else any time head scratching :
